Nonstaurant Watch: Ru’s Pie Club, Naked Kitchen, and B. Patisserie

You know what these are (above)? They’re pie buttons. Yes, miniature hand pies from Ru’s Pie Club, a sweet little pop-up we just learned about via a very small event at someone’s home in Bernal Heights dubbed Spuntino. It’s the project of Oakland-based Ru Cymrot-Wu, and she does regular-size pies too, all by online order, which you can do here, and she’ll deliver. Note: She won a People’s Choice award from Mission Pie last year for her ollalieberry-peach pie.

And last but not least, Belinda Leong’s b. patisserie, which is set to open a brick-and-mortar shop later this year at Divisadero and California, is doing a pop-up event on Sunday, August 26, at Central Kitchen to celebrate the one-year anniversary of her solo business. She’ll be selling her delectable kouign-amann; a chocolate-banana pudding; macarons; brioche feuilletée au aucre (a sugar-coated, layered brioche served with housemade confiture); and lemon-olallieberry and almond bostock (twice baked brioche, lemon syrup, olallieberry confiture, almond cream and sliced almonds). This is all happening from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. [SFist]
